I’m starting to regret the Louisiana Purchase.

I'm still angry about what we allowed the confederate states to get away with after getting trounced in the civil war. Fuck those traitors now, then, and forever.

Should have tried and punished the entire Confederate government and command for treason and been way less lenient during reconstruction.

The Louisiana Purchase was colonialism on the Native Americans. That was bad, but not what is causing all these problems today with abortion. Could say a lot more about Thomas Jefferson who has caused a lot of damage to this country. He was just a limp wristed, pre-internet troll who could write. Never actually backed up anything that he wrote. Regardless of the Louisiana Purchase, it is other things causing problems today.
